CRAZY COOKING CHALLENGE - Bubble & Squeak

Mashed potatoes are a comfort food in and of itself, so I decided to cross the pond and make Bubble & Squeak.
Traditional British comfort food - aka as Colcannon in Ireland and Rumbledethumps in Scotland (how cute a name is that?) The name comes from the bubble and squeak sounds made as it cooks. It was meant to use up leftovers from Sunday Dinner but I'm told "Mums" make it from scratch because it often requested and a way to get kids to eat their veggies.

3 or 4 large potatoes, boiled and mashed with 2 Tbsp butter and 1/4 cup milk

Salt and Pepper

1/2 small savoy cabbage, boiled and drained

1/2 large onion, chopped and sauteed in 2 Tbsp. butter

1 Tbsp. Country Dijon Mustard

Any leftover vegetables, carrots, peas

Fried bacon pieces (optional)

Sharp Cheddar (optional)

In a large frying pan, saute onions in 2 Tbsp. butter until softened and caramelized.

What a wonderful, informative post. I have some Bridgewater Pottery that has Bubble & Squeak written on it, and I never looked it up. Now I'll have to go make some! I particularly love the idea of a fried egg to top it off. Wonder if they have a name for that?
